Recycling of carpets made from Anso Nylon 6, as well as other carpets made from the same type of nylon, is made possible by Evergreen Nylon Recycling, Shaw’s Nylon 6 recycling operation in Augusta, Georgia. The Evergreen facility converts post-consumer Nylon 6 carpet back to its original starting material, caprolactam?the building block for Nylon 6 fiber. The caprolactam from Evergreen is mixed with new caprolactam during the manufacturing process, and new Anso nylon fiber is made. Anso Nylon 6 carpets have received a System Allocated 25% Post Consumer Carpet Certification from an independent certification firm, Scientific Certification Systems (“SCS”). This certification is based on the allocated output of recycled fiber material from Shaw’s Evergreen Nylon recycling facility calculated as a percentage of total Anso Nylon 6 fiber output.

Evergreen Nylon Recycling, Shaw’s nylon recycling operation in Augusta, Georgia, employs patented technology that converts post-consumer nylon carpet and recycles it back to its original material – the building block for nylon fiber. As a result of this technology, carpets of Nylon 6 are capable of being recycled into new carpet repeatedly without the loss of any aesthetic or performance properties.

Partnering with a number of recycling companies, Shaw has established a collection network to bring post-consumer carpets to Evergreen for recycling. Currently, the collection system is operational in a number of locations throughout the country, and were adding areas to our network continuously. Although the recycling efforts may be limited at this time, the recycled content we are able put into our products from this process represents a nationwide environmental benefit.

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:38:21 +0000http://perrys.clarinerd.com/?p=25The most important thing you can do for your carpet is to vacuum it regularly. Removing dirt particles will reduce abrasion that can dull carpet fibers. Keeping your carpet free from dirt will also reduce the frequency of steam cleaning, thus prolonging the life of your carpet’s protective treatment.

How often your carpet will need to be professionally steam cleaned depends on how the carpet is used and cared for. Carpet treated with Scotchgard Protector should stay clean 2 to 3 times longer than similar untreated carpet; providing a better appearance with less cleaning.

Professional steam cleaning is the preferred method because it leaves the least amount of detergent residue. If you choose to do-it-yourself, DO NOT use wet shampoo equipment. Shampooing can leave a soap residue in the carpet which not only masks the Scotchgard Protector, but actually attracts and holds dirt.

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:31:54 +0000http://perrys.clarinerd.com/?p=18Most residential carpet doesn’t actually wear out. Instead, it loses its original appearance and luster long before its fibers begin to wear down. Just how long your carpet will look good depends on a number of factors, including carpet construction, household traffic patterns, exposure to soiling and stains and, of course, maintenance. Scotchgard Protector, applied at the mill and bonded onto individual carpet fibers, will protect against staining and soiling, and help keep your carpet looking newer longer. In addition, proper care and cleaning can make a big difference in retaining your carpet’s beauty over many years of regular use. So, to get the most out of your investment, here are a few things you should know about carpet care and maintenance.

Use entrance mats.Place mats inside and outside entrances to trap soil before it can be tracked into your home. Soil is the greatest threat to your carpet’s appearance.

Vacuum regularly.You can’t vacuum too often. Use a vacuum with a beater-bar which will raise the pile while it removes soil.

Blot up spills immediately.Immediate attention to spills and spots will make removal easier. Follow the stain removal instructions found here. Always blot the area being cleaned. Never rub, scrub or brush.
